[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 2501839, member: 22"]The document will be collectable if it accompanies the medal or order. Likewise it will enhance the provenance of the medal. When I have seen medals advertised at auction it usually says with papers or paper work. I don't know if there is a specific word for the signed document. I collect medals, Crimea, Boer War, WWI, WWII, very few of them come with the original papers. I don't have a Victorian DSO but have the next best ones from a later period.
